Benin City was rocked yesterday by a shocking scandal that unfolded in the quiet community of Iguomon, Benin-City in Edo State.
A well-known pastor, whose identity is currently being withheld pending investigations, was caught red-handed in a compromising situation with a pregnant married woman at a local guest house.
Eyewitnesses say the woman’s husband had been suspicious for weeks, and with the help of some friends, he trailed her movements — only to walk into a scene no husband should ever witness. Emotions ran high as the confrontation escalated, drawing a large crowd that quickly gathered at the scene. The pastor was subjected to beating and he was stripped naked and paraded around the community. The woman in question was not included in the video and it seems her husband will deal with her personally on the matter. The pastor claimed that it is the woman who came to her, though he admitted that he knew she was married.
Sources close to the family claim this isn’t the pastor’s first time being linked to marital affairs within the church community, but this latest incident has sparked public outrage, with many calling for his immediate resignation and spiritual accountability.
Community leaders in Iguomon are now demanding justice, as the incident has vandalized the reputation of the church and sent shockwaves through the local religious circle. The video of the incident is available below 👇🏾
